I'm sure there are a few more will numbers issues that would have liked to move down, but a few others who moved down that I thought should have opted up. It's a different situation for each school/team I guess.
What would have made a bunch more sense to me would be moving Hillsboro/CV and MV/E to A and moving DLB and Botno to AA. The enrollment difference is just a few kids, but the co-op factor comes into play with participation. I know they follow a hard line with the set guidelines, but common sense should be able to factor in as well. This would allow two more teams to move to the west region in AA and move Central Dakota and VC to compete in the east region.

Think you're looking at the wrong page. Rugby was at 85 and Hazen at 89 in this year's plan. Botno at 94 and DLB 96

That would free up more room in the East Region for VC and Central Dakota to play there. DL or Jamestown would have to play in the west, though.

There is such a separation between the haves and have nots in the current AA. A 14 team AA on paper is the way to go, but that would mean matching a team like Griggs Barnes County with Jamestown. Basically the same problem you have now all over again.
